I was going through Postaroo and found a add for a home based bookeeper, so i thought i would apply. No money was needed to start etc. So I contacted Walter Smith and asked him when I could expect to begin he informed me "productions was being made this week that I could look for it in the comming days.

So I emailed him again and asked him exactly what I would be doing and what I would need . He said everything would be in a email later. So I said ok . A few days later I recieved a email from him. Inside it said that one of his associates had sent me 7 money orders for 850.00 a piece. All I needed to do is go to my bank and cash them then go to 2 different western union stations and send out 2400.00 each time to two different people in Nigeria but they had the same address. I was to keep 10% of the monies and then the remaining amount was to pay for the fees at the Western Union.

The first thing I told my husband was if it was a postal money order I was going to go to the post office and cash them. Knowing that If it was a real money order and it came from the post office they would have no problem cashing them. My husband said why would you do that. Well this is why I used to work at a bank . And saw a scam of this type come through there.

What they do is they have you cash them at your bank and by the time your bank gets the FAKE money order back you have already sent the monies Western Union to them . They have 5000.00 in cash and you have a 5000.00 overdraft plus fees and criminal charges.

Ok so a few days later I got a FED EX package inside was all 7 money orders. I called my post office and asked them to validate all of them . The first thing I noticed was a money order receipt is ontop of the money orders now not on the side and even when they was on the side they was to the right not the left. These money order had tear offs on the left. Then the next thing I noticed was the red ink was smudged at the bottom. Then one money order only had 850.0 printed on it the other 0 was off the page. So anyways The Post office confirmed they were fake.

If you are unsure if one is fake there is 3 ways to tell. 1.) Hold the money order up to the light you should see a round oval with a Benjemin Franklin Waterprint in it . 2.) Hold the money order up to the light and you should see a red strip in the middle that reads USPS. 3.) If there is a Waterprint of BF on it when you lay it against a white sheet of paper the watermark should disappear.

I emailed him informing him they was fake he told me sit tight new productions was being made that I would be recieving more. I told him he was crazy and he emailed me again and said this time "DO NOT GO TO POST OFFICE" "GO TO YOUR BANK ONLY" I told him where to go and I took it all to my postal inspector. Postal Inspector said not much can be done due to they sent it FED EX not United States Postal Service. BE VERY CAREFUL OF THIS .
